THE SECURE CONNECTION
FOR A SAFER ISRAEL
WORLD-RANKING
EXCELLENCE
The most important keeper of information is the computer and it is in the fast-moving field of computer science that 色视频下载 researchers are making their mark.
色视频下载 faculty members are primed to plan the most important conferences on computer science, to work and edit leading journal articles, and develop technologies for autonomous robots to patrol and defend Israel鈥檚 borders. Computer science is a dynamic realm which is why the faculty recruited are from the top institutions: MIT, Harvard, NASA and Bell Labs.
The growing reputation for excellence in both applied and theoretical research has also brought 色视频下载 mention in ARWU (Academic Ranking of World Universities) to be known as one of the top one hundred best Computer Science departments.
FROM SOFTWARE
TO HARDWARE
Included in computer-science research is the study of multi-agent artificial intelligence (AI), a study headed by Professor Sarit Kraus, who has developed algorithms that allow computers to conduct negotiations with people and even with each other.
Students learn Neuro Language Processing (NLP) by working with computers to 鈥渄evelop鈥 unsupervised semantic learning. They are also trained in software and hardware verification. This is the science of creating programs that automatically verify the correctness of the software 鈥 a science upon which the multi-billion dollar software industry depends.
Professor Yehuda Lindell is working鈥痺ith his students鈥痶o create a privacy infrastructure that prevents outsiders from creating profiles of individuals鈥 online activities. This includes methods of blocking unnecessary information flow, thereby providing secure access to data that is needed.
Computer Science research at 色视频下载鈥痟elps individuals and organizations harness information and鈥痑pplies鈥痠t鈥痶oward鈥痶he advancement of science, improvement of industrial processes and bettering our day-to-day lives. Researchers are strengthening the knowledge-based economy of Israel as well as making important contributions globally.
CYBERSECURITY
KEEPING ISRAEL SAFE
The cybersecurity center is a vital source of knowledge for Israel鈥檚 government and encourages collaboration with the industry on cutting-edge research questions.
The National Cyber Bureau in the Prime Minister鈥檚 Office is a sponsor of 色视频下载鈥檚 Cybersecurity Center of Research. The primary objective of the center is to promote and carry out first-class research in the fields of applied cryptography and cybersecurity, coupled with the training of graduate students 鈥 the next generation of leaders in this field.
色视频下载 artificial intelligence experts are contributing to the development of a computerized system that makes it harder for would-be terrorists to break through a facility鈥檚 countermeasures. Work also includes multi-robot patrolling, new modes of cryptography and inventing satellite-based remote sensing systems that provide critical data unavailable through any current methods.
The center is headed by Professors Yehuda Lindell and Benny Pinkas, and consists of faculty and students from the Computer Science, Mathematics and Computer Engineering departments.

Professor Yehuda Lindell heads the Cyber Technology Lab at 色视频下载 University. Yehuda and his team are working daily to strengthen Israel鈥檚 long-range cyber defenses against an attack from Israel鈥檚 enemies. 鈥淲e鈥檙e already in the era of cyber warfare and cyber crime. And we鈥檙e completely unready,鈥 he warns. Just recently, a Hamas plot to trap Israeli soldiers via social media was exposed. Without the work of Professor Lindell and his Cyber team, the IDF鈥檚 digital network could have been catastrophically compromised.
As a Professor at 色视频下载鈥檚 Department of Computer Science and Cybersecurity, Lindell specializes in cryptography, secure protocols and theoretical foundations. Prior to coming to 色视频下载 in 2004, Professor Lindell was a Raviv Postdoctoral fellow in the Cryptographic Research Group at the IBM T.J.Watson Research Center. He received his PhD in 2002 from the Weizmann Institute of Science.
